A Melancholy Scene.
Wc take the following from the l-'ay-
cttevillc Observer. It has relation to
the I'nitcd States arsenal which stood
on the brow of the hill known as Hay
Mount, overlooking the town of l-'ay-
ctLeville. It had been made a most beau
tiful place, principally under the long ad
ministration of Captain, afterwards Col.
liradford of the artillery. He was a gen
tleman of taste and culture, and in the
piping times of peace, of leisure; and
that leisure he bad spent to improve and
heuutify the grounds and buildings until

was out of the question; force was only

pleasant as an old field muster could
make it. Nobody was hurt, and every
one was in a laughing humor. It was
different when Sherman came along four
years after and rebuked the levity of that
occasion by his ferocious retribution ; for

We lea i-ed yesterday with peculiar n-
rel that this very good and very useful
nan had died at his home on Mills River,
in Henderson county on Friday last of
pneumonia. It is as if we, and many
ithers also for whom we could speak, had
lost a good old friend. More than once on
inrroad to 1 ransvlvania court, or on
mr return, we have stopped at his beau
tiful home in the valley, and the cheer of
his fireside was not brighter nor more
rateful than the geniality of his manner
mil the kindness of his nature. It al
ways seemed lo us that his temper and
his expression had drawn their inspira
tion from the placid loveliness ol the
scene that surrounded mm. 111s oemg
seemed to have taken its coloring from
that upon which his eye rested so con
stantly through a life somewhat pro
longed. What was smooth and verdant
lav around Ins daily path; what was
harsh and rugged lay afar, soltcncd
bv the distance and enrobed with
the heavenly blue, symbolic of the hope
ful eye with which he looked into the
future.

spark of vice. A fire disregarded and
uncontrolled is no more disastrous to
the material well being of a community,
than this flame of hidden vice is to its
moral safety. Of I he two, the last is the
more far reaching of the two ; there is re
cuperation for the one; stained morality
is rarely, if ever, restored to us purity.

The Excellent Average Prices
aid Ouriuic October,
Mr. L I. Holmes, the secretary of the
Asheville Tobacco Association, gives us
the following official figures tor the
month of October:
So. of pounds sold H32.K12
Aggregating in money o',ol i.tM
verage price per hundred $15.75
This certainly presents a most gratify
ing showing for Asheville as a market.
The average of $15.75 per hundred is al
most equal to any for ner prices for the
same month in the history of this city
as a tobacco centre, and should lead our
farmers to conclude that thcv can do as
well, if not better, by placing their to
bacco on the floors of Asheville ware
houses than by sending it to loreign mar
kets where they can in no way superin
tend the disposal of it.
It is rarely the case that so much to
bacco is placed on the market so early in
the season, yet we are told by those com
petent to know that it is thought one-
half of the entire crop will be sold before
Christmas. This is not only thought by
tobacco tobacco buyers here, but wc
learn that Danville and other tobacco
markets arc lieiug crowded in the san.e
way, and it may be stated with almost
certainty, that the crop of this State and
Virginia will be nearly if not quite half
sold by January first.

that it seemed to those it enveloped, that '
thcv were wrapped in a veritable cloud.
Captain Brecse, in his early ride to town,
was caught by it, and was convinced it
was a cloud swooping down unusually
low. II was a very well defined body,
moving in mass with its limits clearly
marked, and rolled away as quick as it
came up, ojicning up a clear sky again,
but leaving everything it touched drip
pine wet. After all, there is little differ
ence lietween the cloud and the fog banks,
inly the former is more heavily sur
charged with moisture, and does not
distil its waters gently like the fog, but
lets them out in heavy drops and con
tinuous outpour.
